Keisha Knight Pulliam is Engaged...to Ed Hartwell?????

So as I attempt to dive back into this blogging thing at the start of the New Year, I came across the usual incidences you see this time of year,which are good ol engagements. So I was a bit confused when I saw that Keisha Knight Pulliam-Miss young Rudy from the "Cosby Show" was engaged to Ed Hartwell. Remember that guy? Way back when he was married to the cute and boppy Lisa Wu, formerly of "Real Housewives Of Atlanta"? Yea, that guy. Although they have parted ways for a few years now, looks like her found a new love with Mrs. Pulliam.  I could have sworn Miss Keisha was seriously dating Big Tigger, a famous DJ(Bigg Tigga's Basement. Do your googles if you don't know) who now works for V-103 in Atlanta. So when I did a little looking, it looks as though this was a whirlwind romance, according to Bossip.com  She hasn't even deleted the pics from her and her old boo from 38 weeks ago....Yikes!! Of course, Tigga was bombarded with questions and responded that he wasn't going to tolerate any hate, ignorance, blah, blah, blah. Lisa Wu was hit with questions as well, but didn't have a response as of yet. Welp, congrats and all the best to the couple on their upcoming nuptials. Let's stay tuned to see how this pans out...

Video of FSU QB De'Andre Johnson Punching Woman In Face

At the end of the day,please,please,PLEASE everyone keep their hands to themselves.

 19-year-old FSU freshman quarterback De'Andre Johnson was caught on video punching a 21-year old FSU female student in the face. Apparently the incident happened last month and Johnson was charged with battery. In the video, you can see the two arguing and the Johnson grabs her and the female student took a swing at him and he swings back hitting her in her face. There are reports that the female student was sitting at the bar waiting to order and Johnson tried to push past her and she was trying to confront him. He assaults her then walks away with no intervention from anyone. He has since been placed on indefinite suspension.

*UPDATE* Johnson was dismissed by the team.

Remember no matter who you are and where your are, you most likely on good ol' candid camera. Guess we'll see how this story develops.

Rapper Remy Ma to Be Released From Prison



Can you believe it's been over 6 years since Reminisce Smith, a.k.a Remy Ma has been locked up? She will be released from Bedford Hills Correctional Facility later on today, after serving time for shooting Makeeda Barnes-Joseph in the abdomen and back in 2008, reportedly over 3 racks. Remy Ma called into Angie Martinez show on Power 105, doing a 14 minute interview  discussing her prison stint and what's in store for her release. Check out the deets below:

• She spent her time writing rhymes and reflecting on her situation that "cause her to look at business dealings, personal actions differently."
• She commented on Nicki Minaj stating "Nick has always been a supporter and vice versa."
• She married her longtime boyfriend, rapper Papoose,(I had no idea they were an item!) and he held her down during her entire lockup!
• She lost weight( which is good, because most people GAIN weight) and has a reality show in the works, which will document her initial release

It will be interesting to see how and when she jumps back in the rap game, because things were VERY different for female MC's back then and now. Will we see a collabo from her and Mrs. Nicki? I wish her the best!



She Knows the Difference: RHOA Star Kandi Burruss Demands Popeyes on 'A Mother's Love' Tour

I was too tickled when I read the tour rider from Kandi Burruss "A Mother's Love" Tour, over at FunkyDineva.com. Of course, if you don't know, The Doll is actually in the play, so you know he had a few choice funny words. Check out the deets below:

“Please do not substitute for KFC or Churches, we know the difference.”

With all that wagon she is draggin’, Kandi insists that she only sit on a new toilet seat and wipe her funk box with Cottonelle toilet paper. The real gag is, Kandi is trying to pull it. I done been round ha house, and in that guest bathroom, Mama had that blue 1-ply tissue that your country grandma gets from Family Dollar. Hoes kill me. You don’t wipe your ass with Cottonelle on your own dime, but you want somebody else to finance your boongee’s romance with Cottonelle. Girl Bye! 

Kandi’s rider stipulates that a brand new toilet seat must be installed under the supervision of her road manager or assistant, and the bathroom must be fully stocked with Cottonelle and Dove soap. Mind you the rest of us on the tour are probably going to have to wipe our ass with those elementary school paper towels and wash our hands with liquid soap that comes in a gallon container. Jesus hurry up and get me off the F-List. My coochie is just as precious as Kandi’s. At least my neighbor’s husband thinks so.

Oh well, I can tell y’all THIS. My ass will not be eating granola bars and and chips from craft services. Nope! My ass is gone be down to Kandi dressing room stealing chicken wangs. Tryna do me! I don’t think so!! 

LOL! Well, it looks as though Kandi's play is going on a national tour to a city near you, so I don't think her demands are that unreasonable. Chile, if I had a choice I would choose Popeye's too- and  you CAN tell the difference!!!! The new toilet thing seems odd, but going to all those different bathroom facilities, you want to be clean and comfortable- and have good toilet paper- Cottonelle is the best! And Dove is the best soap, because being on the road doesn't mean you should skimp on your soap and if her skin is anything like mine, messing with any soap other than Dove will have your skin all out of whack! Besides that, will you be catching a show near you? I wanna go!!!



Mase Leaves His Church and Returns to Rapping... Again.



Looks like rapper Mase is making a comeback to the rap game, once again. I couldn't remember exactly, but I seemed to remember him retiring from the rap game in the 90s, and after checking out his Wikipedia page, it stated he announced his retirement from rap on May 4, 1999, during a interview with Funkmaster Flex on New York's Hot 97. He wanted to pursue a "calling from God." and stated "rap was not real" and he had become unhappy with what he did, no matter how much it paid."

Alas. he returned to the rap game after a five year hiatus, during the summer of 2004. (Remember 'Welcome Back'?) He dabbled in rap for years to follow, but ultimately made his way back to his ministry with parishes in Atlanta and Phoenix.

According to TMZ,

On-again, off-again rapper/pastor Mase has officially left his parishioners of the El Elyon International Church high and dry … and has run back to the rap game full time.
Mase, who “retired” from rap in 1999 to pursue a career in the ministry, built up thousands of followers split into two churches in Atlanta and Phoenix … preaching the virtues of marriage and family values.
That all came crashing down earlier this year when Mase and his wife divorced, causing most of his flock to flee in anger. As for those stalwart loyalists, well Mase says … screw them.
He’s dropped all ties with both churches and is playing regular rap gigs around L.A., jumping back into his former lifestyle hardcore

Thoughts?  Peep the deets of his music below:
